“I had made up my mind that if you didn’t come for me tonight I’d go down the track to that big wild cherry tree at the bend, and climb up into it to stay all night. I wouldn’t be a bit afraid, and it would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree…

I missed the ocean so much when I was in Russia. I missed the smell of the sea air, and I missed wearing nautical inspired outfits. So taking photos of a nautical outfit was somewhat of an excuse to have a reason to visit the seaside! When I first…

And just like that, it was spring again! A few days ago I was in Moscow where the leaves were golden and the skies were grey, today I am in Brisbane where the sun is shining and flowers are bursting into bloom. My first outing in Australia was to go see the flowers, all…

How quickly three months have gone by – it seems just like yesterday that I was taking photos in the lupine field near my house. By the time Saturday rolls around, I will be back at home in Australia and all of this will seem like something that happened to someone else a long time…

Last month I blogged the Freddies of Pinewood Home Companion jeans as a pair of dungarees, and here they are with the front detached looking like a regular pair of jeans.

When I think about this beautiful city, Ella Fitzgerald singing I Love Paris comes into my head, only in my head I like to replace Paris with Moscow. The beginning of this month marks the end of my time here, in a few weeks I will be going home. After being here for a while…

Summers last hurrah comes in the form of sunflowers. I view them as a peace offering for all of the hot days when I walked around looking like Pierrot each time I got off my half hour commute into the city on a non air conditioned train. I don’t think it’s possible not to love…

I was planning on holding off from posting autumn content for a while yet, I mean it is only mid August after all but this afternoon when I came home I couldn’t help noticing that the leaves have already started to change colour, and I got caught in what I think is the beginning of…

It’s pretty much a guarantee that if I’m not in the city, I’m at home wearing this outfit or a variation of it. Now I love the glamour of getting dressed up for the city, but I also have a major soft spot for the countryside and tracking through miles of thick forest that is…

If you’ve seen my instagram stories then you already know what I’ve been up to – picking strawberries, eating strawberries, and making jam. It’s an obsession of mine. I don’t know what it is exactly but there is something so satisfying about being able to go out into a field and pick your own fruit…

A vintage lover from Brisbane. I am passionately nostalgic for decades before my time. I enjoy recreating looks inspired by the past wearing both vintage and vintage reproduction clothing. My blog focuses on the styles of the art deco period and features both authentic vintage pieces from the 1920s, 30s & 40s, as well as modern reproductions of clothing from these eras. My blog explores creating modern every day looks with vintage elements. If you would like to say hello get in touch with me through harlow@harlowdarling.com.
